The improvements are expected to include four flashing stop signs and flashing advance warning signs on all four approaches to the intersection. Crews will also install new pavement markings and build a raised island at the southwest corner near Jimmy's Market.

A regional transportation study identified the intersection as a high-crash location and found that it met the requirements for an all-way stop. The intersection had the highest crash rate along the Route 139 corridor, according to a 2024 study by the Old Colony Planning Council.
